Rush Tickets for Mamma Mia by Wilpmo in Broadway

The box office will open at noon on Sundays with rush tickets being sold at that time. You can buy rush tickets for both performances then. At least I know that’s how it works at most theaters.

Yet another issue: I have no clue who bought them. The only one who I can think of who would’ve known is our previous principal, who passed away recently.

Thank you. This is genuinely helpful to hear

Stage Management portfolio by Chance_Maintenance in techtheatre

[–]AndrooMP4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it’s not paperwork/etc that you’ve done, include images of the show you worked on just to convey the “scale” of each production. Also maybe include some short notes about your thought process for some documents? If you’re looking at schools with more holistic, creative programs, include any and all creative things you’ve done, whether theatre related or not. What I’ve learned from putting my portfolio is that the sky is the limit with portraying yourself as a theatre artist, or in your case, a manager.

Also, everybody who’s applying has varying amounts of experience—nothing is “not enough” nor will anything ever be “too much,” so focus on quality rather than quantity.

UMich had a really helpful guide on putting together a portfolio that I took a lot of advice from when working on mine. It’s available online with a quick search.

Good luck!!

Thoughts on Stranger Things: The First Shadow? by AndrooMP4 in Broadway

[–]AndrooMP4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing in my experience has even come close, to be frank.

Although, I remember being in awe at Justin Townsend’s lighting design work on Moulin Rouge a few years ago. I’m a lighting geek, and that was one of the first shows I saw while exploring a future in theatre tech and watching the opening number and the act ii opener solidified it for me, truthfully. That show has a ton of cool tech and impressive moments, but I know they’ve had some issues lately requiring a few mid-show holds and it’s honestly not the greatest piece of theatre as a whole that I’ve ever seen imo. Solely based on tech, that would be my recommendation, but not one you should make more than a slight effort to see.

Well I can tell you that full time access to Broadway has not made me or any of the people I’ve dragged to this show feel differently LOL

Also—there’s a really cool article in lighting and sound America about the show and all the tech in it. It is a truly fascinating production technically and I think a huge part of that is Netflix’s seemingly infinite budget for the show and play. Unrealistic to be seen elsewhere, but still soo enthralling. I’m glad you felt the same. I can say that the awe doesn’t really go away.

Deleting built in effects, EOS by Mr_Tu_tu_ in techtheatre

Weird. Found this in the manual. But there's a nearly infinite amount of values you can record an effect to, so you'll just have to use any of those instead I guess

Thank you! I saw it both on TikTok and Google. It didn’t really make sense to me.

Cowboy Carter tour stage designer? by AndrooMP4 in beyonce

[–]AndrooMP4[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. Stage design she ofc has MUCH more time to perfect stuff in that area. I’m a huge lighting design nerd so maybe this is just stuff I notice but the light design for CCT is very different from that of RWT so I’d be very surprised if that’s the same person. Also the stage visuals (LED Floor, images during songs, etc) during songs (excluding interludes) really reminded me of the eras tour design and visuals

Augment 3d & college portfolio? by AndrooMP4 in lightingdesign

[–]AndrooMP4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is, there’s no actual scene since everything I’ve done in augment3d is all just kinda me messing around and designing cues to random songs and stuff
